Bottom line here is that you will pay out almost the amount of money that people put into MBA's and similar professional degrees and in turn, receive a qualification that will at best, prepare you to earn a coffee shop service staff level of income. This university's fees are completely unjustifiable in this day in age. There is no labor-market advantage to attending a small, expensive university that does not outdo any of its regional competitor institutions at virtually anything. Let's make sure we have this clear: $44,000 each academic year for absolutely no skills that the labor market is willing to pay for. IF you attend this university and would like to take advantage of career advising beyond the usual speech or would like to take advantage of internship and co-op experience that WILL translate to meaningful and gainful post-graduation employment you are in for a scary surprise. Make sure to treat your department chair and tenured professors very well, given that if they do not seem to take well to you they will make sure (at any cost) that you do not have access to scholarship, internship and work-placement opportunities. The only thing that Arcadia can claim to do well is send out more students than any other US university on study abroad experiences. This statistic, of course, is double-edged, as their study abroad department happens to be one of the most corrupt in the country, as evidenced by a recent investigation by the federal government and New York's attorney general.
